I immediately pegged him as a B-grade Tillmans due to the random subject matter. The intelligence and variety with abstracts is what makes Tillman&#39;s stuff work for me. Etheridge seems too slick, like a lifestyle photographer on the make (which he essentially is) and an ADD audience ready to fall for it. Which is what pretty much drives a lot of the market. However, perhaps I&#39;m overly cynical and it will take seeing more shows for me to &quot;get it&quot;. Though the thought of getting it via mash-up seems pretty far fetched. I&#39;m wary of sly cultural shorthand and a knowing wink being worth it in the long run. Of course it did take me awhile to warm up to Tillmans....dirtywretchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09236182516832582027noreply@blogger.com
